1 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, you are looking live. These are the teams that 2 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: are going to the playoffs. On the left, the American 3 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: Football Conference, very simple, Kansas City Chiefs. They have not 4 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: lost a game and over two months. They're the only 5 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 1: ones in the FC who have punched that ticket. But 6 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: on the rights and the NFC gets a little crowd 7 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: of cowboys in Packerson Bucks, in Rams. Cardinals, despite what 8 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,959 Speaker 1: they got going on, will be going to the playoffs. 9 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: There is still room available if you not see your 10 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: favorite team right there. And this is good morning football. 11 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: What's going on everybody? I am Kyle Brandt. We have 12 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: Michael Robinson who won a Super Bowl, Tom Pellis Sarah 13 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: who should win a Pulitzer based on what he's done 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: this year. And Peter Schrager, based purely on this weekend, 15 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: needs a nice coffee and a trophy for all the 16 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: work and all the travel he's done. Pe shregs, good morning. 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: What's up on? How by them cowboys? Kyle? Thank you 18 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: for that. I have been in Arizona to see that game. 19 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: I have been in LA and now I'm in New York. 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: And last night the biggest story was in Dallas. Let's 21 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: start off in Big d Let's get to it. Let's 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: see the Cowboys and the stamp that they put on 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: this the lead block. Dak Prescott has not had three 24 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: or more touchdowns in a game since we're turning from 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: the injury in week nine. The whispers are out there. 26 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: Can the offense keep up with the defense. It's twenty 27 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: eight to seven and we're still in the first half, 28 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: and that's when things get a little nutty. Okay, these 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: are not only two teammates, but there are two college teammates, 30 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: Payne and Allen. These guys played at Alabama together, both 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: first round picks. If I could read lips right now, 32 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: he is upset, don't this is Dak wasn't done. Big 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: man touchdown here the passes to Terrence Steele. It's the 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: first Cowboys offensive linemen to score a touchdown since Rayfield 35 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: right in nineteen sixty eight. But then Dak hits a Maria. 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: This is just this was one of those mercy role 37 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: They took Dak out in the second half. Cowboys put 38 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: it all together and it was something. They won this game. Guys, 39 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: fifty six to fourteen. Let's hear from Dak Prescott after 40 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: the biggest win of the Cowboys season. A lot of 41 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: fans would love to see this team get them back 42 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: to where they were in the mid nineties. I'm not 43 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: gonna say the word, but what message do you have 44 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: for the fan base after a game late tonight that 45 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: those are expectations in our and our standards. Tonight was 46 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: a great atmosphere. I think the fans played a huge 47 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: part in it, and just make sure the stadium had 48 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: the great atmosphere was rocking, gave the defense a lot 49 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: of help, and then I was just exciting on offense, 50 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: scorning touchdowns and filling them. And we can carry this 51 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: off into the playoffs. We'll put ourselves in a great spot. 52 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a look at this thing. The 53 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: Packers are your top seed, but after last night, the 54 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: Cowboys move up to the two. The NFC East is 55 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: there's printed T shirts. The Rams are in the three 56 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: filed by Brady and the Bucks after another win, rounding 57 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: out the left column. Guys, so much to unpack from 58 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: an extremely one sided game here, Let's find out where 59 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 1: we want to dive in. Tom Pella Sero Washington got 60 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: routed in Jerry World. What was your takeaway? Cow that 61 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: felt like one of those games where the Cowboys by 62 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: the end of the first half, we're just trying to 63 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: come up with, Hey, what we try to put on 64 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,839 Speaker 1: tape here, Let's have some fun. Kelln. What do you got? 65 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: You got this thing where we throw the ball to 66 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: Terren Steel. You want to bust that one out right now. 67 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is moving better than he has since the 68 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: calf injury. You saw it sometimes when he was scrambling. 69 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: Last night, when he was extending plays to throw the 70 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: football down the field. Zeke Elliott looked more like Zeke 71 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: Elliott than we've seen. He's got a little bit of 72 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: that explosion back after everything that he is dealing with 73 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: with his knee. We've talked so much for the past 74 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: what six weeks or so about why isn't the Cowboys 75 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: offense rolling? Well, they've been banged up, they've had COVID situations, 76 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: They've had a quarterback that wasn't entirely healthy. Dak Prescott 77 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: said it after the game last night. This is the 78 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: best he's felt probably the entire season. And a healthy 79 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: deck is a great deck, as we saw last night. 80 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: Yeah and Tom they put it all together, which was 81 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: so great to see. We've been waiting for both sides 82 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: of the ball to actually have that game where it's like, 83 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: all right, the offense played well, but then the defense 84 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: showed up too. DeMarcus Lawrence's play needs to be seen 85 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: one more time. I think this is one of the 86 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: most athletic feats that we have seen all season. An 87 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: individual effort. He deflects the pass, he catches the pass, 88 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: and then stiff arms an offensive lineman, then tiptoes the line, 89 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: then cuts it in and then scores the touchdown. This 90 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: right here is what they were missing when Lawrence was 91 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: out To your point, the health, Gregory's out there, Lawrence 92 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: is out there. You've got all of the players on 93 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: defense that are now jelling, and I'll tell you something. 94 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: When it's working, there becomes a snowball effect and there's 95 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: momentum and you could feel it from Kellen Moore on 96 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: the offensive side getting its play call going to dan 97 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: Quinn on the defensive side. Did you guys seen dan 98 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: Quinn up in the coordinator before they went to commercial 99 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: on this play. It's incredible. Dan Quinn is up there 100 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: and he's fist pumping and he's going and he knows. 101 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: You know, you look at this defensive team Trey vot 102 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: digs at the headline. Michael Parsons might be the best 103 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: defensive player at all of football. But between Gregory and 104 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: Lawrence and the other players who are stepping up, if 105 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: this Cowboys team can have the offense, the defense, and 106 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: the special teams put it together and it's through the 107 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: first week they've done that, they could put up fifty 108 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: six points and they could give your quarterback nightmares. Yeah, Peter, 109 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: and it seems like this Dallas Cowboys team is starting 110 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: to ascend. It's week what sixteen? This is the week 111 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: that championships teams start to separate from the rest of 112 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: the pack. I love what I saw out of Dak Prescott. 113 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: You mentioned it, Peter, with that defense, dan Quinn's footprint 114 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: is all over. This defense is all about the ball. 115 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: But I mean, Dak Prescott, can we just appreciate what 116 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: we saw from him? Twenty eight for thirty nine, three 117 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions. Yeah, Dak 118 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: had a you know, about a rough month or six weeks, 119 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: but I never really doubted Dak Prescott's ability to show 120 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: up in big games. This team showed up. This team 121 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: did what it was supposed to do. But the interesting 122 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: part about this game had to be that sideline scuffle. 123 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: Man talk about it ain't Jonathan Allen. I don't know 124 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: if they come back from this man, because for Dron 125 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: Payne to feel like he can put his finger and 126 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: another grown man's hey, I don't know what they were 127 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: arguing about. I'm assuming it was purely football. But this 128 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: looks personal. This looks like it's something else there. And 129 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: then Jonathan Allen again knowing he's on national television, to 130 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: actually swing on him. Okay, this is Those are the 131 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: two best players on this Washington football team in my opinion, 132 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: So to see the dysfunction between those two players, I 133 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: just don't know where this team goes from here. I 134 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna get into playoffs. And see that 135 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: fight going on the sideline, it definitely shows you with 136 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: the state of the Washington football franchise is about right now, Mike, 137 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: you're all over it. This is a glorious for America's team, 138 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott and Jerry Jones and the Cowboys routed 139 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,239 Speaker 1: and I can't stop shaking that image on the sideline 140 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: of Washington, two guys trying to punch each other This 141 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: was crazy and I hate to spoil it right now, 142 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: and I know it'll be a wonderful night in NFL honors. 143 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: I do not think that Jonathan Allen is going to 144 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: win the Walter Payton Men of the Year Award. He 145 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: is the nominee for Washington, and God bless all the 146 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: work he's done, I do not think he's going to 147 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: win that. I think we can also put that punch 148 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: in a sort of Jermaine O'Neill stratosphere in the Oh 149 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: my god, what if they had connected type thing there? 150 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: Because I'm glad he did not. John Payne said afterwards, 151 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: He's like, you guys got brothers, right, You fight? Right? 152 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: Millions of us have brothers. Yes, of course we fight. 153 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: We do not punch each other at work. That is 154 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: a crazy, crazy image right there that will last for 155 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: a long, long long time. I understand it's a lot 156 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: of frustrated teams in the NFL yesterday. That was an 157 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: unbelievable look. I think we're gonna talk more about that 158 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: as the show goes on. I want to hear Peter's 159 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: take on that. But let's go though to Tom, what 160 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: would you have to say? Never pop another girl? Man? 161 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: In the head. Let's start there. And I also just 162 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: find myself wondering, what kind of crazy thing are you 163 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: saying to get your team's Walter Peyton Man of the 164 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: Year nominee to take a swing at you on the sideline? Mike. 165 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: I know, we got all kinds of takes on this. 166 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: We have to move on because we got the sheet. 167 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: Let's turn the page. There's something more cheerful. Ian Rappaport, 168 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: I hope you and Leah and the boys had a 169 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: wonderful holiday season. And then Max and jew got all 170 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: the toys that they have earned and came on the 171 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: Rappaport house over the holidays. But more importantly, Jacksonville looking 172 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: for a head coach, what can you tell us about 173 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: the timeline we have going on right now with all 174 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: coaching hires. And also in the AFC, the Chiefs win 175 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: going away, but their workhorse Clyde Edwards there and leaves 176 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: the game. What can you tell us about all this stuff? 177 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: Do you appreciate that Jude got a new Harry Potter 178 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: wand he's very excited. Max got a baseball gloves on 179 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: the Stattatude starting in the spring, So a lot of 180 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: really good things happening in the rapport household. But yeah, 181 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: as far as the Jacksonville Jaguars head coaching search, it 182 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: actually is set to begin, based in part on a 183 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: new rule this year that allows teams to interview virtually 184 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: head coaching candidates who are still employed with the final 185 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: two weeks of the season, and also the fact that 186 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: they are allowed to interview coaches who are not currently 187 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: employed by any NFL team. It is set to begin, 188 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: my understanding, as the Jacksonville Jaguars want to interview two 189 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: key candidates at least who are not employed. One is 190 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, who of course won a Super Bowl with 191 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles and has spent his season playing golf 192 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: and getting down to a three handicap, which is congratulations 193 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson there. And Jim Caldwell, another former head coach 194 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: who had a lot of success then of course was 195 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: fired by the Detroit Lines very unceremoniously. I would also 196 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 1: keep an eye on Byron left, which the former Jaguars 197 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: quarterback who's now the Bucks OC. Meanwhile, in football news, 198 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs are waiting word on a key 199 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: MRI and CT scan this morning. Clyde Edwards Hilaire, they're 200 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: starting running backs. Suffered a collarbone injury yesterday. X rays 201 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: were negative, which is good anytime it's announced as a 202 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: collarwood injury. That's a little scary. X rays were negative. 203 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: They will see what the results of the MRI. But 204 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: I would describe the Chiefs as hopeful about this injury 205 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: at this moment. Pop quiz, hot shot. Why was Peter 206 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: Schrager tweeting about potato chips over the weekend. I'll tell 207 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: you in a second. Patrick mom so fired up. I 208 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: mentioned Peter's tweeting once you pop, you can't stop. That's 209 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,599 Speaker 1: Byron Pringle. Reach all the way to the bottom of 210 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: the jar for that one. The Steelers could not grab 211 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: those little crumbs at the bottom. They couldn't grab anything. 212 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: Thirty six to ten. A listless Steelers performance means the 213 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs cleach AFC West. Strigs. I was just tweeting pictures 214 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 1: of Pringles and he had two touchdowns. Kyle, awesome job 215 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: on the highlight. Let's get to the other team in 216 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: the AFC West we were watching and the exact opposite outcome. 217 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: Texans had about twenty guys out with COVID who cares 218 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: Davids Mills comes right in and says, we're gonna break 219 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: your hearts. Chargers, Are you serious? And the Texans are celebrating. 220 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: What a bizarre, bizarre game. If you are a Chargers 221 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: fin it just could not get on track forty one 222 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: to twenty nine. The Texans be the snot out of 223 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Brandon Stanley, we've called you ted Lasso earlier 224 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: this season. You've gone for the fourth down a lot. 225 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: What the heck happened here? I just didn't coach ball 226 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: enough today. I didn't coach weall enough, didn't put our 227 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: guys in good enough positions to be consistent in the game, 228 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 1: and that's why we lost. I love the way that 229 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: our guys prepared this week. We didn't play well enough today, 230 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: but that doesn't change the way that I feel about him. 231 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: This is the tough side of the NFL. Didn't go 232 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: down today, and that's what I told him. It's just 233 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,599 Speaker 1: this is the tough side of the NFL. You know, 234 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: It's been a fight this entire season for us, and 235 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: it's going to continue to be that way. We still 236 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: have a lot in front of us that we can 237 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: play for. Certainly, we the Patriots clinch the AFC East 238 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: in Week sixteen with a win and a Dolphins loss. 239 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: On Monday Night, Bills take the lead of the AFC 240 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: East with the win. Second quarter Bills ball leading ten 241 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: to seven. Josh Alan fire Stefan Diggs, who has something 242 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: to say to the fans. We'll get into that a 243 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: little bit later. Alan Finnis thirty to forty seven, three 244 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: hundred fourteen yard, three touchdowns, also had sixty four rushing 245 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: yards on twelve attempts. Josh Allen doing this thing here 246 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: he is with our Mike grdi all Right, Josh, you 247 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: guys have faced a lot of different diversity this of 248 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: course of the season. How have you managed to fight 249 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: through that and to secure such a big victory today? 250 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I think comes down with the leadership that 251 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: we have on this team, how much guys truly care 252 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: for each other without their job. You know, we want 253 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: to come out we want to win every game. You know, 254 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: we understand that that's not possible to come out here 255 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: and win every single game. But again, to come out 256 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: here and play the way we did in a hostile 257 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: environment with such high stakes, I'm just proud of how 258 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: we attack this week. Mark thought process really coming into 259 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: this one and get two left. But the next one 260 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: is the most important one. We gotta go finish. You 261 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: see that. Why next to the Chiefs, that means they 262 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: have clinched a division title. They are the one seed. 263 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: The Bills are now the four at nine and six, 264 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: they are the AFC East leaders after that win. The 265 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: Painters also nine and six, but they side all the 266 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: way down to the sixth seed. If the Buffalo Bills 267 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: win out, the division is there. So let's get into this, gentleman. 268 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: Incredible showing yesterday in Foxboro. Tom, it's one of the 269 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: class of questions here. Were you more excited about what 270 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: the Bills did or are you maybe a little bit 271 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: nervous about what the Patriots didn't do because they have 272 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: lost two in a row. Where do you go with this? Kyle? 273 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: I think this is all about the Buffalo Bills. They 274 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: had every reason to shrink three weeks after that weird 275 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: snow game that they had in Buffalo. They're going to Foxborough. 276 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: There's the Bill Belichick mystique. If they lose this game, 277 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: they're done in the division and they're on the fringe 278 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: of the wild card picture at this point. But he 279 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: saw Bill's team that sure looks like they're made to 280 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: play in December. I mean, Josh Allen's doing the postgame 281 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,599 Speaker 1: interview with Giardi in a T shirt. Jardi's were in 282 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: the full park. The cold doesn't bother Josh Allen. Those 283 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: types of big moments don't bother Josh Allen. He made 284 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: a ton of big plays and then he got Stefan Diggs. 285 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: If you needed some attitude, Diggs is going to bring it. 286 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: Just watch what he had to say to the fans 287 00:13:53,240 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: after he scored that touchdown. There's a lot to debate 288 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: on Twitter about exactly what Digg said. It's either something 289 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: we can't say on TV or something else we can't 290 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: say on TV. It reminds me of the scene in 291 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: the movie Half Baked where the guy's quitting that the 292 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: fast food restaurant goes around, bleep you, bleep you you're cool. 293 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: Digs are a cold with anybody at Gilette Stadium. He 294 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: wants everybody to feel at the Patriots, their fans, everybody 295 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: was a message sent by the Bills in very clear, 296 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: colorful fashion. Yeah, Tom, you're cool. There's that, and then 297 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: there's Josh Allen, who was as casual as could be 298 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: with Gardi and is completely unfazed. Josh Allen was amazing. 299 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: You know, the Bills didn't punt once yesterday. They didn't 300 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: put one time. Do you know they're the first team 301 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,359 Speaker 1: to beat the Patriots in Foxboro back to back years 302 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: since the O five and oh six Colts. Do you 303 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: know that they basically converted every single third and fourth 304 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: down play they needed. Josh Allen completed twenty passes yesterday, 305 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: and every time he didn't complete a big pass, he 306 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: ran for our first down. And I look at this 307 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: and it's let me see the AFC Pro Bowl quarterbacks 308 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: from where's our guy, Josh Allen? Huh? Which was saying 309 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: that since this thing, since this thing was going on here, 310 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, it looks like everyone got off the Josh 311 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: Allen bandwagon. And since the second half in Tampa Bay 312 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: when they were down twenty seven to three, and Josh 313 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: Allen said, no, no no, no, guys, we're not gonna go 314 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: quietly into the night here, and they came storming all 315 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: the way back. Josh Allen's been the best quarterback in football. 316 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: He was throwing lasers to Gabriel Davis last week in 317 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: a win and yesterday went up against Belichick in Foxborough 318 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: and that vaunted Belichick defense and made them look silly. 319 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: The Bills, It's taken a while, but as we enter 320 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: week seventeen, looked like we thought they should have looked 321 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: all season long, and they might be in the exact 322 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: place they've always had to be. It just took them 323 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: a while to get there. Josh Allen, you're not good 324 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: enough to make the Pro Bowl. You're not. Keep on 325 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: listening to that, and then gkon going playing that way. 326 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: Something happened at halftime in Tampa Bay and they did 327 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: not go on to win that game. But they have 328 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: not been the same team since, and I mean that 329 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: the most positive way. Speaking of not being the same guys, 330 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's okay to utter this out loud. 331 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: This season, Mac Jones is not playing well. Mac Jones 332 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: was bad yesterday. They got mac Jones problems right now. 333 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: This is not a one game thing. At halftime in 334 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: which they were losing, Mac Jones was five or thirteen 335 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: for forty seven yards in a pick he would throw 336 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: another one. The only game he's won in the last 337 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: few weeks was a game in which he threw three 338 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: passes against Buffalo. Let's remember that an Indianapolis that was 339 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: kind of looked at Mac Jones, welcome to the NFL moments. 340 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: It was a rough game. This was supposed to be 341 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: the get right game. You're at home against Buffalo. It 342 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: wasn't a get right game. And you want to be 343 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: playing your best football right now as we're getting towards 344 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: the playoffs. He's not. These rookies struggle and we crowned 345 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: them and we loved them. We love them. He's had 346 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: an awesome season. He is not playing well right now, 347 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: guys objectively, and I'm concerned because it can't just be 348 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: all Damien Harris and they're in the defense all the time. 349 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: This was a tough day for Mac Jones. But Mike Robinson, 350 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: for goodness sake, did you give us some more highlights? Yeah? Well, 351 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: you talk about a get right game. Those Rams they 352 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: got right against the Minnesota Vikings. How about it. Look 353 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: at these Rams eleven and four, top spot in the 354 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: NFC West, the three seed in the NFC. They're now 355 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: a game up on the Cardinals, who slide back to 356 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: the five and are reeling. N O Peter was there 357 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: this weekend. He's got all kinds of thoughts, A lot 358 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: to come still on the Good Morning Football program, including 359 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: the Bengals. How about the Bengals they've officially taken first 360 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: place in the HC North. We're gonna chat Bengals, Ravens 361 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: plus so many more highlights, the four of us having 362 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: a ball. Oh yeah, there's Peter and pelisera right there. 363 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: Uh uh, don't go anywhere. Good Morning Football the Monday, 364 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: and like kree, Eagles beginning to day as the eighth 365 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: seed at seven and seven, looking to get into the 366 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: NFC Final. Wild Cards by Jalen Hurts, fires for divida 367 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: Smith along the sideline who makes oh yeah, gets both 368 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: beat down and bounds four yard touchdown. Let's get it. 369 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: Eagles going to win thirty four to ten Bucks Panthers 370 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: in Charlotte. It's Tom Brady against like seventeen different Carolina 371 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks for some reason. Bucks roll thirty two to six, 372 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 1: Clints their first NFC seuth Division title since two thousand 373 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: and seven. Brady eighteen to thirty from two to thirty 374 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: two yards and a touchdown. Hey Tom, let's get to Cincinnati, 375 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: where Bengals fans are probably still celebrating from this game. 376 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: Burrow and the Bengals can take first place with a win. 377 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: Here's Joe Burrow. Then twenty four to fourteen Te Higgins, 378 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Oh yeah, that's that's right, between Keevan 379 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: Seymour and Brandon Stevens and the Ravens, and then first 380 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: in gold. Burrow says, where's my guy? Fightings and months 381 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: and the Higgins touchdown. Burrow had two hundred and ninety 382 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: nine passing yards in that first half, as you see there, 383 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: so most by any quarterback this season. Burrow would finish 384 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: with five hundred and twenty five passing yards. It's the 385 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: fourth most in NFL history. Now, Earlier in the week, 386 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: Wink Martindale, the defensive coordinator of the raven said he 387 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: wasn't putting a gold jacket on Joe Burrow just yet. 388 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: Hey Burrow, what do you think about that comment? I 389 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: didn't think it was a necessary comment. I wouldn't say 390 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 1: I was offended by it. I mean, I'm in year two. 391 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: Who knows what's going to happen down the road. I 392 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: didn't think it was a necessary comment. Was it on 393 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: your mind when you were throwing at the end? Maybe 394 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: about dot Com? I mean with the Santa Hat and 395 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: the smile. There's a very strong online community who believes 396 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: that Joe Burrow has actually grown up Kevin McAllister, Tom, 397 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: We know Kevin McCallister is a sadist who enjoyed torturing 398 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: those men. He could have called the cops anytime he 399 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: wanted to torture and hunt those men. Do you feel 400 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: that Joe Burrow enjoyed that against the Baltimore Ravens in 401 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: a similar way, He's put up eighty two points in 402 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: two games. Just look at him. This is Kevin McAlister 403 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: giving a press conference after defeating the Robberts. You guys, 404 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: give up or you're thirsty for more. There is something 405 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: about Burrow that just seems I don't think the word 406 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: is vindictive, or he just has that way of getting 407 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: under people's skin a little bit. He takes things personally. 408 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: We've heard some of the miked up segments where he's 409 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: talking about just let me do it, let me take 410 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: over this game. You saw him do that yesterday. Poured 411 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: it on at the end. It's a statement for a 412 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals team that has held bent on making the playoffs. 413 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: Here there was a little saltiness to it. And if 414 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: you saw the postgame handshake or lack thereof between John 415 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: Harbaugh and Zach Taylor, there's some frostiness. Take a look 416 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: what the Bengals just did to the Ravens this season. 417 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: The Ravens that have been their bullies, the Ravens that 418 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: have blown them out in years past, the Ravens that 419 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: have absolutely owned the Bengals domination. Two wins, eighty two 420 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: to thirty eight, ten five fifty yard passes, and they're 421 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: throwing late. Guys. I covered a game a couple of 422 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: years ago or last year where the Ravens twenty seven 423 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: an nothing are sending a zero blitz. The Ravens have 424 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: had some really really demoralizing moments on the Bengals the 425 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: last two years. Remember Lamar Jackson's spinning and then going 426 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: to distance and then having fifty six points in the game. 427 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: This was the Bengals putting their stamp on this rivalry. 428 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: And Burrow might be the coolest character in the league 429 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, Burrow's doing this thing. Man definitely a 430 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: culture changer and has definitely lifted all the ships around him, 431 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: you know out there and Cincy. But I will say, 432 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: when you talk about Baltimore. I mean, I do think 433 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: they're injuries. The things that's gone on with that team. 434 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: I'm not giving them any excuses, but I will say 435 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: like that ain't the same Baltimore team that we're customed 436 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: to seeing in years past. But when you talk about 437 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals, the reason why Joe Burrow can be 438 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: so confident can be so you know, I can say arrogance, 439 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: are cocky, but he could be that way because of 440 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: these guys right here, his wife receivers, the diversity and 441 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: skill set of his wife receivers. I mean, you have 442 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. He's the guy that sets the coverage. He's 443 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: the guy that you can put on the backside of 444 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: a three by one and he can dictate coverage because 445 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: he's just that good and you put the ball in 446 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: his hands and he can go eighty. You got te Higgins, 447 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: he's the red zone threat. We saw him catch two touchdowns. 448 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: He's that big body receiver that you have to you know, 449 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: double when you get in the red zone. Then you 450 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: have Tyler Boy, the guy that wooles the slot, that 451 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: got in between the numbers, in between the hashes. He's 452 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: very tough to deal with. So I just don't know 453 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: how you defend this team, especially when they're on, especially 454 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: when Joe Mixing is going and they're playing a physical 455 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: brand offensively, I just don't know how you stop them. 456 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: And I do think that depending on who they play 457 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, right, because I do think they're gonna 458 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: be there, and I do think they're gonna be writing 459 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: the thicker things. They could really do some damage. And 460 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: I think one of those top teams are not gonna 461 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,479 Speaker 1: want to play the Cincinnati Bengals, because again, they if 462 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: they're on, they can beat any team in the National 463 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: Football League. Mike, You're all over. They have what boxing 464 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: called one punch power. All right. This is not the 465 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: greatest team in NFC. Let's not forget this. They wont 466 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: a couple in a row. They chase two straight home 467 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: losses in December, all right, So it's up and down 468 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: a little bit. But they have big time one punch 469 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: power in which they can go. Peter just showed all 470 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: those passes of fifty plus against the Ravens. This is 471 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: a scene that we come in on a Monday after 472 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: wild Card weekend and say, oh my god, they beat 473 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: you name it. They beat the Bills. They beat one 474 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: of these teams that we think is gonna win a 475 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: first couple of rounds, or they might lose my four touchdowns. 476 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: They're a little up and down, but they're exciting as hell. 477 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: And is anybody walk the line that very thin line 478 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: between confident and a smug cockyesob more than Joe Burrow. 479 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: He is right on that line. He's on the right 480 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: side and we love it. But my god, the Bengals 481 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: are exciting as hell, and watch out for him because 482 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: we think they're going to the playoffs. What was the 483 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: wth moment or game for that weekend? And Peter, I'm 484 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: just gonna pass the ball right back to you, clapping 485 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: forward in the corner. Stay hot? What was your head scratcher? 486 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: I'll get it and I'll shoot that three and I'll 487 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: stay there. In Houston, where whether it was Kenny Smith 488 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: or whether it's Vernon Maxwell, they were always shooting them. 489 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: Matt Bullard, Hello, what the heck happened there? From the 490 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: Chargers ten day to prepare? They had that amazing game 491 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: with the Chiefs where they came up just short where 492 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: they're like, all right, at least we went blow for 493 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: blow with the AFC defending champions, and we could beat them. 494 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: The Texans were down twenty players due to COVID. The 495 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: Texans are playing for nothing but pride. The Texans have 496 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: no playoffs in hopes and the Texans came in there 497 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: and not only beat them, beat the snot out of them. 498 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert as a losing record as a quarterback, we 499 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: crowned them. And I don't know what we need to 500 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: do to get the Chargers to be up for this game. 501 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: And you could say, well, they were without Eckler, without 502 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: Mike Williams. A lot of teams were without a lot 503 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: of players did not come ready for this one. Brandon 504 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: Stanley put it on him. I think it should be 505 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,719 Speaker 1: shared by the entire organization. What a terrible effort from 506 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: the Chargers yesterday. K Adams, get out there wherever you 507 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,239 Speaker 1: are and crank that noise machine or whatever you did 508 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: for them earlier this season, because they need something that 509 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: is unacceptable in Week sixteen to lose to Houston in Houston. Yeah, Peter, 510 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: it was a terrible, terrible effort by the Charges and 511 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: it makes you wonder like what the hell is going 512 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: on over there? But another terrible effort has to be 513 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers man, Like, I feel so bad for 514 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin because I knew that Ben Roethlisberger's probably played 515 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: two years past where he should have been. Right, he 516 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: should have retired two years ago. You know all of that. 517 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin never had a losing season, but I'm afraid 518 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: he may have a losing season this year. I mean, 519 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger through the ball thirty five times and only 520 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: through four hundred in fifty nine yards two turnovers. They 521 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: lost the turnover battle. The defense didn't get anything. And look, 522 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm tired of hearing t J. Watt as the defensive 523 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: player of year. Kennedy, he had one time, zero sacks 524 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: in a huge game. Pittsburgh, you gotta show up. I'm 525 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: scratching my head about the Panthers quarterback rotation. You're playing 526 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold and Cam Newton. You're rotating even not just 527 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: drive to drive within this series in red zone type 528 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: of situations. I've never seen a team that after the 529 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: game has one quarterback answering for him getting booed entering 530 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: the game and the other quarterback giving a quasi retirement speech. 531 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: Matt rules college teams took off in year three. That's 532 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: what happened at Temple. That's what happened at Baylor. Everybody's 533 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: waiting for it, but Rules said it himself after the game. 534 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: He thinks far's progress. He's sorry that no one else 535 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: can see it. Look at what's going on with the 536 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: quarterbacks right now. I don't know how you don't scratch 537 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: your head. Tom. You said no one else can see it. 538 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: There's only two types of people in this world. Those 539 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: who can see the bunny a rabbit and the Browns logo, 540 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 1: and those who cannot. Then I feel bad for them. 541 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: This stole the show. The Brown's helmet bled into the 542 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: score bug and everyone lost their minds that it looks 543 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: like a bunny a rabbit pushing a sled or a sleigh, 544 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: or a shopping cart or a walker. Aaron Rodgers is 545 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: breaking the Packers all time record and Maker Mayfield's thrown interceptions. 546 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,479 Speaker 1: We're talking about that bunny a rabbit. Can you see it, 547 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: because once you can, you will never ever unsee it. 548 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: Happy Easter, everybody, and coming up, We've got another friend 549 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: we love. Stop what you're doing, watch the show and 550 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: look at Nate Burrowson's Instagram stories. He and his family 551 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 1: has some kind of crazy Lord of the Fly's battle 552 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: on Christmas Day. We're gonna get into it right after this. 553 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: All right, let's get nad in here. Nate, you know him, 554 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: you love him? Or listen of you got Spider Man 555 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: out there, you got the Kurt Warner movie. Nothing was 556 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: as electric as the battle that took place in your home. 557 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna get to it in a second, I hope, 558 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: because it was amazing. Not amazing was Bengals versus Ravens. Nate, 559 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: you just saw the cut of Burrow, you saw the game. 560 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: How are you marry Christmas? And what did you think 561 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: of the Bengals act this weekend? My friend, marry Christmas? 562 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: Give my best to the brands. Yeah. I thought that 563 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow was absolutely phenomenal, and you know, he was 564 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: motivated by something else. Oftentimes, you step on the field 565 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: at this point in the year and you're like, you 566 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: know what, I just want to put my team in 567 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: the best position to get ready for the playoffs. I 568 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: want to make sure that we have our rhythm, our confidence. 569 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: But there was something about that game that was different. 570 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Burrown was cooking Willing and Dylan left 571 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: and right and all this receiver stepped up even that 572 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: exchange at the end. Did y'all see that exchange between 573 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: head coaches hardball and be like, hey, why did you 574 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: why did you call that play? Why did you call 575 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: that play? First of all, I just felt like head 576 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: coach for the Begel Zach Taylor. He doesn't need to 577 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: answer that. He could just be like, you know what, 578 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: we were kicking button and we wanted to keep kicking button. 579 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: But as far as Joe Burrow taking the comments by 580 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: Wink Martindale and saying that I felt like it was unnecessary, 581 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: let me transnate that for you. He was basically saying, 582 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: nobody mentioned a Hall of Fame jacket, but the people 583 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: that are watching from the outside looking in, so throwing 584 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: me out there saying that you don't need to crown 585 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: him yet was unnecessary. So to prove how good I 586 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: am hall of Fame or not, I am gonna light 587 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: up your team in your defense for four straight quarters. 588 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: Shout out to Joe Burrow. I love that. I mean, 589 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: Mike Rob knows this. There's oftentimes you might read something 590 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: in the paper. Here's something from another team, here's something 591 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: from another player on the opposing squad that you're facing. 592 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: You're like, they said, what about who they're talking about me? 593 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: And then you go out there and light them up. 594 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: There's no better feeling in the world. Yeah, I said 595 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: it earlier in the show. Nay, you know hardball in 596 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: that handshake, you know, brushes them off. Why are you 597 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: throwing the ball? I remember last year it was twenty 598 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: seven to nothing in Wink Martindale sending nine blitzers on 599 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: the quarterback. Like these things come around, they don't forget. 600 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: And when you do that, that's kind of what happens 601 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Nate Dallas last night, fifty six to 602 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: fourteen blowout of Washington. It's very easy to jump on 603 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: this bandwagon. Are you showing caution or are you saying 604 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: there in the same convo as the Bucks and the 605 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: Rams and obviously the Packers, what are we looking at 606 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: an eleven and four Dallas Cowboys team? I mean, why 607 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: aren't we excited? I don't understand where all the hesitation is. 608 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: I mean, if you were to ask me, hey, at 609 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: this point in the season, just after Christmas, you're going 610 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: to be eleven and four, I'd say, h e double 611 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: hockey sticks. Yes, of course I'll take that record, and 612 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: not to mention a big time blow. Now, I could 613 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: care less who the Washington football team has a quarterback, 614 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: the injuries, what's going on with Cobra protocols. I don't 615 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: care about any other team but my squad. So if 616 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm in that Dallas Cowboys locker room, not only am 617 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: I excited, but I'm excited about getting ready for the 618 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: playoffs because it's not just offense. Defense was going crazy. 619 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: Special teams are stepping up, and you just look at 620 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: that sideline. Everybody's excited. You gotta step on whoever you 621 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: need to step on in order to put yourself in 622 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: a position to be the best possible team come postseason. 623 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: So for me, I'm excited. Yeah, I'm jumping on the badwagon. 624 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: There is no hesitation on me thinking that the Cowboys 625 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: are a legitimate contender for a Super Bowl. Nasty Nate 626 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: was going on, big dog, you know you're right, you 627 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: know you're my dog. I'm sitting in your seat, your 628 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: old seat, your old seat. So I gotta do my 629 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: name berless and impressions. All right, right, here we go, 630 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: Here we go. I ask my question like I'm nack 631 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: b all right. I know you see every catch. You 632 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But I bet you're playing close 633 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: attention to the feet and the toe drag swag because 634 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: you got to play attention to all that, you know 635 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Oh that was nice? All right there, 636 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: Well let me get into this to Mike Roadway. Okay, 637 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: now listen, I mean you understand that I know exactly 638 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about because I played the game, all right, 639 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: So focus on my words and not everybody else's. But 640 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: did you see that catch in Seattle? So go ahead 641 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: and give me the graphic so I can break down 642 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: this footage for you. That's a little mic crowd for you. 643 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: Here's the toe drag swaggle. Now we saw plenty of catches. 644 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: I gotta shout out DeVante Smith, who's been doing this thing. 645 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: But did you see this two point conversion back then? 646 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: Demere bird, Oh my goodness. He goes up, climbs the 647 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: ladder like he's changing the gutters, and then comes down 648 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: almost pushed out of bounds, but then recognizes that I 649 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: need to get my feet down in order to make 650 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: this count, gets his feet and then a knee. Oh, man, 651 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: this might be the best catch of every seen. Not 652 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: only did he get the feet down, he held the 653 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: ball in the air when his called outside, Oh baby bird, 654 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: the bird to demere bird with possibly the best catch 655 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: and toe drag swag of the season. We're gonna give 656 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: out our game balls in just a minute here. Why 657 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: don't you get as started though.

We love you. Dog At 682 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: Kyle mentioned this our email. We were exchanging these emails. 683 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: There was a bit of a battle going on in 684 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: the Burlison house. Can you explain you kind of narrate 685 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: what's going on here? Okay, So so listen, I want 686 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: to create a new Christmas tradition. So I went out 687 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: and I spent way too much money on you know, 688 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: those play guns. I don't know if we could say 689 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: the brand because we're not getting paid, but you know 690 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,239 Speaker 1: the guns that we fell in love with, you know, 691 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: when we were younger and we shot, you know, these 692 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: air soft little pellets at heat each other and we 693 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: had a great time. That's little Nate bunker down in 694 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: his room and I even gave him one of those countdowns. 695 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, five, four, three, come out or we're coming in. 696 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,479 Speaker 1: And the wife was recording the whole time. And it's 697 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: funny because my wife, she said afterwards, she's like, oh, 698 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: you fooled me by saying this new tradition was more 699 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: about the kids, but it really was for you. And 700 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: maybe it was, but I thought a very safe way 701 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 1: where we can use some play gun toys, toy guns 702 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: and have some fun with each other. But we had 703 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: a ball a battle royale in the house for the Burlisons. Nate. 704 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: I was riveted by this. I watched this like on 705 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: the edge of my seat. And I'm supposed to ask 706 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: you which family member took it too far, but I 707 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: already know because there is a moment in which your 708 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: beautiful daughter Mia is looking down some stairs at you 709 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,720 Speaker 1: and you got all this weaponry, and she goes, Daddy, 710 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: can we call it truce? And Nate, I'm not making 711 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: this up, goes, ain't no truce. And you return to 712 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 1: battle Nate your maniac. That's a fact, Man, Black Terminator, 713 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: ain't no truce. And I'll be back next Christmas. That's 714 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: a fact. And I'll be back. You'll always be back, mate. 715 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: We love you, We missed you.

They just gotta do it, Peter, let's 719 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: give out some gameballs. I'm down to the basements. There's 720 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: always some kind of weird knickknacks time. You're at my 721 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: high school helmets right here, this is We were the Patriots, 722 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: as you can see, and our coach would give us 723 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: out the helmet decals, you know, for big plays and 724 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: things like that. So who would we give helmet decals 725 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: out or in this case, game balls? After all you 726 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: watch this weekend, Mike, who get yours? It's gotta be 727 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: Houston Texas head coach David Culley. Man, this team has 728 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 1: been through a lot. Nobody gave this team a chance 729 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: to do anything this year. I know, I sure as 730 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: hell didn't. They come out and they beat the you 731 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: know what out of the Chargers forty one to twenty nine. 732 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,760 Speaker 1: This team had one hundred and eighty nine rushing yards, 733 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: Davis Mills out of Stanford two hundred and fifty four yards, 734 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and the defense was fired up. 735 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: They forced three turnovers. Hats off to you, David Culley again, 736 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: nobody gave this team a chance. You had this team. 737 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: Motive made it and I'm telling you nobody wants to 738 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: play the Houston Texas going down the final two or 739 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: three weeks on the season. Great job. You know. I've 740 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: been on Good Morning Football at least fifteen hundred episodes 741 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 1: and no comment has followed me more online then when 742 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 1: I came in after a wonderful Nick Foles Super Bowl 743 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: and said, if there's one player in NFL history I 744 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: want with the game on the line, it might be 745 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: Nick Foles. I said that with Brady and Manning looming 746 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: in my head, I still kind of stand behind it. 747 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: Nick Foles down seventeen to seven in Seattle, like it 748 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: hasn't played all season. Down seventeen seven, It's like, just 749 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: give me the rock. Let's go. Bears, just fighting with 750 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 1: nothing but pride on the line. They show up and 751 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: Foles is It's exquisite in the fourth quarter, takes them 752 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: all the way down, it gets them two scores, and 753 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,399 Speaker 1: then when they needed a most converts a touchdown pass 754 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: to Jimmy Graham and then they're like, all right, let's 755 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: go for two. And then Foles hits Demere Bird in 756 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: the back of the end zone and Bird makes one 757 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: of the most incredible catches you'll see. Foles always in 758 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: a big spot, shows up Week three in a game 759 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 1: he should win, probably not week five, in a game 760 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: where they're up by fifteen. Maybe in a game where 761 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: he's trailing and you need to drive, Nick Foles will 762 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: be there. You get my game ball, and here come 763 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: the tweets, Peter. We call that engagement. My game ball 764 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: is gonna go to huckswide receiver Antonio Brown. You know 765 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 1: when you bring Antonio Brown into your building, there is 766 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: a lot that comes with it. I'm not going to 767 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 1: go through the list, you can google it, but this 768 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:35,800 Speaker 1: is a guy who hadn't played in two and a 769 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: half months puts up ten catches for one hundred and 770 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 1: one yards in a win over Carolina, the most games 771 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: with ten catches in NFL history. Number one on that list. 772 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown just took over for Andre Johnson. Obviously, those 773 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: are all guys who played within the past twenty years. 774 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: The game has changed. But the point is, even at 775 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 1: the stage in Antonio Brown's career, even with fact, fake 776 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: vaccination cards and whatever else might be going on when 777 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: he's on the field, especially with Tom Brady, He's still 778 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: papable of being a holly productive receiver. And guess what, 779 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: you were going to see a lot more of Antonio Brown, 780 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 1: maybe all the way into another Super Bowl. This is 781 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: easy for me, Joe Burrow. You know the kind of 782 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,959 Speaker 1: day he had. This is not over the last ten years. 783 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,439 Speaker 1: This is ever single game passing yards. He is fourth, 784 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: And I love the list. I love that Matt shab 785 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: is on this list, and that Warren Moon and booming Roethlisberger. 786 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, time will not remember that the Ravens secondary 787 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: had been ravaged. They will remember you on this list 788 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,359 Speaker 1: for five to twenty five, wearing the Santa had afterwards 789 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: talking about the Ravens defensive coordinator with that sort of 790 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: cigar like vibe that you have. This is the entire 791 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow experience. When you drafted him number one. It 792 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,240 Speaker 1: was everything you could possibly hope he would be coming 793 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 1: out of LSU and more. He has made the Cincinnati 794 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: Bengals cool. He's made them must watch, He's made them dangerous. 795 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: It's an incredible thing that he's done. And people were 796 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: saying that he should not play for the Bengals and 797 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: hold out and pull the power moving the draft. No, 798 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,439 Speaker 1: he's playing for the Bengals. He's playing his butt off 799 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: and he dropped five twenty five in Division rival that's 800 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: a game ball. That is Joey Burrown Dolphins Saints ramifications. 801 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: Mic rob what's interesting to you about this game? What 802 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,879 Speaker 1: are you got? Oh? You mentioned it in book Right 803 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: making his first start, I'm definitely interested to see how 804 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: Sean Payton manages this kid from the sideline. He needs 805 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: the lead on Alva Kamar checkdowns. Running the football. It's 806 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: okay to punt the ball, but more than anything, don't 807 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 1: turn the football over. They've had zero giveaways over the 808 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: last two games. They've won those games. And if you 809 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: don't turn the football over, you give your team a chance. 810 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: And I think this kid should be good with protecting 811 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: the football. In college at Stanford, seventy two passing touchdowns, 812 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: only twenty interceptions, touchdown. The interception ratio was good, so 813 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: I think he is cognizant about protecting the football. If 814 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: he does that, I think gives the Saints the best 815 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: chance to win this game tonight. I'm interested to see 816 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: two a tongue of vloa on another national stage that 817 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: Kyle mentioned it earlier in the show. Justin Herbert to 818 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: this point in his career as a losing record as 819 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback fourteen to sixteen.
